SWITZERLAND ~ Travel Poster - Geneva ~

... Beautiful turn of the century vintage train travel postcard original from a lithographic poster showing Geneva and its lake with the Mont-Blanc in the back... at the bottom of the poster are details about train tickets, which indicate offers for various travel options... one of the finest and rarest Geneva travel posters... Thanks a lot Madeleine!ヽ(•‿•)ノ
 


Designed by H.G. Tanconville, (1845-1936) it was printed in stone-lithography for the P.L.M, the French Paris - Lyon - Mediterrannée Railway Company focussed on traveling to Genève.

Geneva is situated in the southwest of the country, where the Rhône exits Lake Geneva, it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva. 

It is a global city, an international financial centre, and a worldwide centre for diplomacy, which has led to it being called the "Peace Capital"
